Thanks brotha! Didn’t know about the pressure release 👍🏼
Just realized I had one in my house never opened once in 2 years. Probably the reason why we had to get a water heater again after one year. Going to keep up with cleaning this one from now on
Installing a low point drain on new homes should be mandatory as well as the staged shutoffs like you mentioned. 👏👏👏
Thanks! I didn't know about the water pressure button, which is hidden... releasing the pressure it's so much easier to change.
10/10 instructional vid!!
Thank you! You laughed in the video at the same time I had hit the red release button and it squirted my brother. Perfect! 😂
use butter or cooking spray if u forget next time
I don't recommend it. The rubber O-ring would degrade when it comes into contact with petroleum or oils. The specs call for food-grade grease (another way of saying food grade silicone grease = does not hurt the rubber compounds).
Thank you 🎉
Would the 2.5x10 (GXWH20T) size be sufficient for a 2.5 bath 2 person Florida condo, or is 4.5x10 (GXWH40L) a practical necessity? We ask because the place where we could install two might fit the smaller sizes better than the larger, or we could mix them. We intend one to house anti-scale polyphosphate, and a second with a 5micron filter with carbon. (If we have the room, we want to squeeze in a spin down filter to extend the life of the filter.)
Just curious as to where your meter is? Where your lightning line is? Thanks for the video however. Replacing for the first time and completely forgot what the plumber told me. Big help.
My water meter is in my front yard near the road. I don’t have a lighting line. Is that a ground? All my water lines are pex. I don’t have any copper in my house.
I have a question. Why did you install the filter so high up to tend to? My husband installed ours where I can change it whilst standing in the crawl space area. Also be careful when loosening to cylinder to open and change filter as I once pushed a bit too hard and cracked the pvc.
I just wanted the filter up and out of the way. I have my workout equipment set up below this filter. I'm in this area of the basement all the time. I didn't want it hanging low or on the wall where it would be in my way.
Thanks for the video I is vaseline
For the oring
Were the Amazon filters good?
i dont think your supposed to ever tighten the housing with the wrench, its only to remove it. Hand tight is as tight as you want it because it uses a seal.
When releasing pressure (red button), do I need to release all water out? Thanks
No. If you push the pressure release button, water comes out until the pressure is released. Then, no more water comes out of the button.
The location of the filter is not very convenient. Adding some food grade grease around the tread can help. I replaced my filter very 2 months; i am in the Houston area. The water has a lot of clay and dirt.
isnt olive oil etc food grade oil?😂😂😂 just a thought my friend
Just use some olive oil
Bro, I don't think it's supposed to look like that, lol! WTF?? I've had mine several weeks and it still looks fine
I have to replace this filter about every 2 months because it gets brown. I think we have a lot of iron or something in the water.
What is the tool called used to un-tighten the case of the filter?
Wrench - it comes with the filter system when you buy it at the store.
